"Now, this way to your quarters," Dian says to the others.

"No, no," objects Bane, "We all stay together. Have Sora moved to our quarters."

"Come now," Dian replies, "I have given you my word. Surely you can trust that I will not try anything."

R5 gives a stubborn beep.

"Exactly," says the cloaked figure, arms crossed.

"Move him," says Bane.

Dian places a finger to his forehead.

"What did I do to deserve this?" he whines to himself, gesturing for his security guards to lift Sora on a stretcher.

R5 looks like it can think of several things...

At length the party are led down to a set of private guest quarters, typically used for visits from off-world merchants and traders, R5 informs them. Best of all, there are no security cameras. The guards leave them, and at last they have some privacy.

"Well," says Bane, "All in all, not bad for an afternoon's work."

"Quite so," the cloaked figure replies, patting R5 on the head appreciatively.

R5 beeps smugly.

"So," adds the cloaked figure, more pragmatically, "Who is using the refresher first?"

"Flip a credit for it?" Bane suggests.

The pair do so, and Bane wins, heading off to shower in his armor. The cloaked figure sits down to meditate as he does so, and has a vision. The room fades around him, and he finds himself in the room in which he and Sora awoke. Only it is not in disarray. He stands in the doorway, and before him Sora stands, eyes closed, along with the twi'lek and togruta Jedi. Between them, in the center of the room, a dark object spins at lightening speed, appearing almost as a blur. As he watches a gold light begins to glow. He ignites his lightsaber, and steps forward.

The twi'lek suddenly opens his eyes and turns.

"Master Bulq!" he says, "We have an intruder!"

"Focus, Farna!" cries the togruta, "I... cannot... contain it..."

The twi'lek, meanwhile, has ignited his green lightsaber.

"You shall not take it from us, Sith!" he cries.

Sora's face contorts with exertion and pain.

"Almost... complete!" he cries.

The twi'lek charges forward, slicing at the cloaked figure, who effortlessly parries the blade, before slicing the twi'lek down.

Even as the figure charges at Sora, there is an explosion of darkness, and he is thrown across the room by a powerful force, which seems to to be sucking out his very soul. He cries in agony, and then suddenly he awakens on the floor of the mining guest room, panting hard.

Bane stands, frozen at the entrance of the refresher, his armor glistening with water.

"Are... you all right?" he asks cautiously.

"I'm fine," the figure grunts, rising and brushing past Bane and into the refresher.

"Beepity-boop-beep-boop."

"You said it," Bane says with feeling, sending a final glance after the cloaked figure before snatching up the tool kit and beginning work on the droid.
